1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori (HP) occurs in 50% of people worldwide with higher rates reported in the bariatric population. HP has been associated with adverse outcomes following bariatric surgery; however, its true impact has not yet been defined. We aimed to systematically review the effect of HP on bariatric surgery outcomes. A comprehensive literature review was conducted yielding seven studies with 255,435 patients. Meta-analysis found comparable rates of bleeding, leak, hospital length of stay, and weight loss between HP-positive and HP-negative patients. HP was, however, found to be the largest independent predictor of marginal ulceration in those undergoing RYGB, with a tenfold increase versus HP-negative patients. Overall, HP is associated with increased marginal ulceration rates, but has little impact on other bariatric surgery outcomes.
